Cows and chickens feel fear, pain, and joy just as humans do, but in the meat industry, cows are shot in the head with captive-bolt guns before they’re hung up by one leg and have their throats slit. Chickens are forced into shackles, held upside down, and dragged through electrified water baths before they, too, have their throats slit, often while they’re still conscious. Every person who goes vegan saves the lives of nearly 200 animals each year and reduces their own risk of developing heart disease and cancer.

Each winner in PETA’s 2026 Vegan Awards will receive a certificate, along with bragging rights.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat or abuse in any other way”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone. For more information, please visit PETAAsia.com or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
